Pronto

Pronto is the kind of relaxed and laidback café that we could do with more of in the Piccadilly area. If you've had enough of this area's posh restaurants and chain pubs then track down Pronto, tucked away on Rupert Street. Here you won't find any particularly exciting and innovative cooking, but you will receive good service and fine quality traditional fare. The all day English breakfast brings in a steady stream of customers throughout the day and lunchtimes are especially busy when simple sandwiches, toasties and a variety of jacket potatoes are on offer. By night dishes such as a selection of pasta, chilli and curries are more popular. However, bear in mind that this is a place to drop by and eat en route elsewhere rather than a great setting to while away an entire evening.
